I certainly hope so. For the sake of all that is holy in hoops, I want Anthony Davis to reinvigorate the recently moribund New Orleans Hornets franchise. I believe the Brow can do it, because his game is wholly unique...

Expect the playoffs, for once. Yes, this is always a dangerous proposition when talking Golden State Warriors basketball. Their fans are addicted to convincing themselves that next year will be different, next year won't be so unlucky...

Argentina is obviously the favorite to develop silver hair (Hi-yo!). The once "golden generation" of Argentine stars are nearing middle age collectively. Manu Ginobili and Pablo Prigioni are both 35 years old...

There is a basketball team that will rip through its Olympic competition and we're not comparing it to that famed 1992 squad. In the background, America's more dominant basketball force should crush all comers...

You might not believe this, but there are some good players who don't play in the NBA. You just might see them in these Olympic Games, and you just might wonder why your favorite team soldiers on with far inferior talent...

I would favor Chris Paul in Team USA's lineup because he's the NBA's best point guard. Crazy idea, right? I'm against this notion that the FIBA game is so wildly different from the one Chuck, Kenny and Ernie bring to you on Thursday nights...

It is very difficult to choose between Jason Kidd and Raymond Felton. This is not a compliment to either; quite the contrary. This is a "lesser of two evils" choice. Or, more accurately, it is a "better of two bad point guards" decision...

It started well for Spain, as they were extra-passing Team USA to death. Unlike most deaths, this was not so permanent, as Team USA came roaring back thanks to some scalding Carmelo Anthony shooting...

Remember, way back in 2010, back when people were complaining about the growth of superteams? It wasn't that they were jealous of Miami, so they claimed. It wasn't that LeBron James had angered them with a silly TV special...
